Show New Oil Recovery Process Uiilizes Soda Pop Water Carbonated water, the "life" of most soda pops, is now being used for water floding of oil wells. Information about the new development is a guarded secret, but it has been reported that "carbonated water modifies the condition of many oil sands so that oil is more readily recoverable re-coverable than by present water flood procedures." The process is being tested in western New York where core tests show oil content up to' 30 per cent still in the sands after conventional water-flooding. Secondary recovery re-covery is one of the industry's latter day tools to conserve natural na-tural resources by recovering the maximum amount of oil from each field. |
